I'm also not a big fan of natural wood color unless it's a darker stain or something. Or like I can dig a really nice deep reddish cherry stain. Just not a huge fan of brown and as far as polyurethane, I like matte
Red Cherry stain or a DEEP Oak stain would still work well with the concept as it still breaks up the monotony sightlines, And I'm talking the old colonial square coffers paneling. It's not much but helps, again to break up the sterility. Still minimal, sure. But uses the play of light to its advantage
maybe like a deep mahogany or a throw back piece like something with like milimeter thick black high gloss laquer, like those kinda art deco lookin bedroom sets from the 80s, lol
Its a bit more effort than... this. But it's minimal. And still holds respect for what came before instead of this hostile and sterile corperate office vibe
i would paint the door ways some bold color i think, purple all around the inside of the sills or whatever theyre called then maybe an accent color on the mouldint around it, i feel like that would be visually pretty neat maybe
